โฆ Synopsis
Two years ago Guy, Emily and Eric went to a "coincidence creation course" and learned techniques for creating what look like random events which will cause people to change their own lives. Now they are responsible for organizing random encounters between lovers-to-be, creating moments of inspiration that help people make life changing decisions, or "building" coincidences that cause important scientific discoveries. Then Guy gets a new special mission. And a mysterious killer appears in town. Everything is going to change everything for the three coincidence makers-- and they're going to learn a lesson about fate, free will and the true nature of love.;"The Coincidence Makers tells the story of Guy, Emily & Eric, whose job is creating coincidences and initiating various events in other people's lives. The three graduated from a "coincidence creation course" that took place 2 years prior to the events in the book, in which they learned techniques for creating what look like random events which will cause people to change their own lives.

But when Guy gets a new special mission, that mission, along with a mysterious killer who appears in town and other hidden forces that he is not aware of, are going to change everything for the three coincidence makers and teach them about fate, free will & the true nature of love"--
